You may have figured out by now that I am a tea fanatic. Tea is the one thing I have to have in the morning for my day to get started. My productivity in the day is solely dependent on whether or not I get my morning tea. Not only do I use tea for drinking, but there are also other amazing uses for tea. If you are stocked up on tea like me, try some of these other uses for it!
Paint
If you want some accents on your black and white watercolor painting or maybe a more natural looking art project all together. A strong cup of black tea works as paint and won’t dry any lighter than you paint it on.
Mouthwash
Strong peppermint tea mixed with a pinch of salt is a makeshift mouthwash. Peppermint tea is also known to help soothe sores. Believe me, this actually works as well as normal mouthwash!
Soothe
Wet tea bags can help soothe sunburn, puffy eyes, razor burns and poison ivy. Chamomile specifically has soothing aspects that are also found in aloe.
